The school is a happy and harmonious place where the students and staff show mutual respect for each other. Connaught is highly regarded by the local community and our aim is to work with it, especially its parents and governors to encourage our students to become confident, considerate individuals who will play a full part in society whether locally, nationally or on a global scale.

We are determined that every student develops a love of learning and takes advantage of the many curricular and extra -curricular opportunities that they are offered in their time at Connaught. Our school motto is ‘Seize the Day’ and our logo is a soaring bird, illustrating clearly that we believe that there should be no boundaries to our students’ aspirations.

We are committed to providing a school curriculum that allows all our students to enjoy their learning and achieve their best through:

  • A broad and balanced school curriculum that promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our students
  • High expectations which challenge our students’ thinking, foster their creativity and ensure the development of essential literacy and numeracy skills
  • Preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life
  • A Citizenship, Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education programme
  • Religious Education, studied in each Key Stage
  • The development of Information Communication Technology (ICT) skills as an integral part of the curriculum
  • A careers programme that supports all students in Year 11 participating in college interviews
  • Subject events including performances from visiting theatrical groups

Connaught School for Girls is required to show its value for money statement in conjunction with DfE regulation as stated below."All academy trusts are required to complete an annual value for money statement to help them self-assess what they have done to maximise the impact of their money. The statement must be signed by the trust’s accounting officer and a copy of the signed statement must be emailed to the Education Funding Agency (EFA) at the email address below by 31 December each year. It must also be published on the trust’s website within one month of submission to the EFA.

The value for money statement was first announced in the September 2012 edition of the Academies Financial Handbook and originally was to be presented as part of academy trusts’ annual reports and audited accounts. However the statement is now a separate free-standing return that will not be a part of the annual report and accounts. The value for money statement does not need to be audited by academy trusts’ external auditors."

They deserve the full marks because of their sheer dedication in music (striving to get onto the SCOTY stage), their academics, sports and school life :)
